The video shows an automatic laboratory flotation cell developed by Outotec at their research centre in Pori in Finland. In this case the cell is 12 litres treating 3.5 kilograms of ore 25% solids. Rotor speed is 1500 RPM and air is fed at a rate of 5 LPM.

Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic. This is used in mineral processing, paper recycling and waste water treatment industries. Historically this was first used in the mining industry, where it was one of the great enabling technologies of the 20th century.

Outotec174; Flotation Plant. With expertise based on over 100 years in flotation technology, and over 10,000 flotation cells installed around the world, Outotec has the experience you need to maximize your operations productivity and efficiency. We can deliver a complete life cycle solution from test works and flow sheet development to implementation

Mini Flotation Pilot Plant. Micro dosage reagent pumps and hose pumps for concentrate/slurry stream. Assuming a 35% flotation density and a 2.8 SG to your test ore feeding this laboratory flotation pilot plant, you will have approximately 25 minutes of conditioning time with 15 minutes of rougher flotation time if operated at 13 kilos/hour (200 grams/minute).

Outotec174; cPlant Flotation. The plant is delivered pre installed in a steel frame the size of a standard shipping container, and includes piping, electrical cables, and trays. As the plant is delivered with most of the supporting structures integrated into the prefabricated unit, it requires only basic foundations.
